Killing a 13 year old boy.
It's about time that the black community in Los Angles stops complaining about the police killing a 13 year old boy and takes some steps to prevent these kind of things from happening.
Lets look at the facts. A black 13 year old stole a car. When confronted by the police, he initiated a chase and after stopping, backed into a police car to make an escape. He was shot after he backed into the car and started driving away. He could have surrendered with no loss of life, but he didn't want to be punished.
What would the good people say if he ran into someone and killed them. Is not the life of innocent people worth more than the life of a criminal? Doesn't the black leadership realize that they are making heroes of common criminals. Instead of telling the youth in the community that being a criminal is wrong, they are making the criminals into folk heroes.
When someone commits a crime, and refuses to be caught, why expend sympathy. His parents must be unhappy with the outcome of their child's adventures but let them cry for the innocent. How many people were saved from potential death and injury by stopping their son. I would think that the black community should be happy that there were no innocent victims.
